Best fresas con crema ever. They are amazing! The cream is homemade and tastes absolutely delicious. The portion is huge, so you definitely leave satisfied. The hotdogs are also really tasty, and the nachos are just as good. Everything I’ve tried has been delicious. I highly recommend this place!

People who work here are amazing and I’m not surprised it translates through their food. After I ordered a bit of a crowd came in and the gentleman working there that night was so apologetic that it took a bit longer to prepare the ramen, not sure how long it usually takes but I would’ve waited as long as it took lol and it couldn’t had been more than 10 minutes. It was just amazing witnessing the teamwork and hospitality it made the food taste even better than it already does. Next time I’ll be trying the hot dogs!

This place served the best hot dog I’ve ever had! Picked up some other elote for my friends and they loved it too! I definitely recommend if you’re in the area and have time for a quick bite. The owners are super sweet too!

If I could describe Esquites Chimals in one word, it would be incredible! The hot dogs are absolutely to die for—they cook the sausage with onions and a few jalapeños, giving it an amazing depth of flavor. The bread they use is soft, delicious, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. And you cannot miss the esquites (corn in a cup). This isn’t your typical version you find at other places—this is the real deal, made just like it is in Mexico, with an authentic and unforgettable taste. Huge shoutout to the cooks, Edgar and Andrea, who were not only super kind but also paid attention to every little detail to make sure the whole experience was perfect. Honestly, the only “problem” is that everything is so good, I think I might be addicted now!

Insanely good bacon wrapped hot dogs, elote is delicious it's different with the white corn but the cheese makes up for it! I'd add a pic of the hot dog but I ate it to fast!

These guys are the real deal. Some products were brought all the way from Mexico and homemade! I had the street corn, and it was amazing!!! I’m craving it now. Definitely not your average food cart and worth the drive to try. We drove from Richardson to McKinney, and it was definitely worth it!!
